Turns out people actually enjoy Real Life Experiences and what the wonderful Earth has to offer. I just don't get this whole thing. It's absurd. In fact, I don't get video games either. They're for children. If that's your idea of entertainment, you're a very shallow person.
While people do enjoy the outdoors, being an adult video gamer, it's a different story. (My folks didn't get it either).
Video games to my generation (born in the '80s, grew up in the '90s) This was the next generations entertainment and social interaction, not just in their communities, but the more games became available to play on, now we had a world of people we could talk to that shared our interests.
Many a health study has shown playing video games improves problem solving skills, time and resource management, cooperation, competitive spirit, and creativity. Those who grew up with videos games, a decent amount of them went to learn how to make them, not just with the big corps, but became indies and modifiers as well. It requires coding and design skills, and again, unless solo, communication with team members to make something new or in addition to what they already enjoy.
YES! If not moderated properly, it can become unhealthy. But any well rounded individual knows the difference between fiction and reality. Of course it's not good to let the TV, whether with movies, TV shows, or video games, babysit the children.
Then again, maybe I was just lucky that I had parents who allowed me to play time limited but healthy doses, and then also encouraged me to play outside.
And games aren't just for 'children'. If they were, everything would be rated EC, E, or T from the ESRB, there would be no M rated games.
That's like saying Animation is for children, when we know it's not.
No. This is the same "video games cause violence" argument. They don't. Don't over indulge in them, and balance out your day and activities, especially for children with other physical and social interactions too.
Don't make video games the monster the left is trying to control for their own benefit and narrative. It's more than anecdotal.
You know what I see in New York and chicago? I see GTA San Andreas. I see violence without consequence. Don't tell me video games don't influence anything. That is absolute bullshit.
Let me guess, Harvard and Yale did the studies on video games and prove they're safe.

Anecdotal but certainly not unique. Video games have removed children from physical activity and made them sedentary beings.
